Top Songs

Six short months we went together decided it should be forever
Two paychecks are better than one diamond ring and it was done
Bought her a house like I said I would in sub-divided neighborhood
The fuse got short and the nights got long it was over long gone
Before I knew where I was headed to

Have you ever stared down in the bottom of a coffee cup
And discovered that you got no reason stayin' up?
Right at the moment when
The caffeine is kickin' in
So you break down and give an old girlfriend a call
